LAURENS, S. C, Nov. 29, 1905.
ANGER AS A BUSINESS MOTIVE.
"If he own3 the majority of the
stock he ought to control the mill and
elect the officers." That is what an
outsider said of Mr. Milliken and the
Laurena Mills contest. That is, on its
face, a natural view to take.
But?Mr. Milliken, his firm and family,
do not own a majority of the stock.
They own about one third of it.
In the second, place, it is held that
500 shares of his stock was sold to an
other man. The contention is that if
he had carried out his contract, he
could have formed no alliance that
would control the Mill.
In the third place it is contended that
he is using his shares to consummate an
unlawful conspiracy to charge the Mill
higher commissions than it ought to
pay. These are matters for the courts
and no one knows in whose hands the
courts will finally place the control.
But for the sake of the argument let
us say that Mr. Milliken does person
ally own a majority of the stock. He
dislikes the president. He may turn
him out because he dislikes him. That
would be strictly a lawful proceeding.
You may buy the control of a bank
here and because you are angry with
its president or cashier, kick him out.
That is your legal right.
Mr. Milliken may not, unless he
wishes, stop with the president. He
may be angry with Reuben Pitts and
Pet Smith and Mr. Haskcll and Mr. Pe
terson and Mr. Meng and all the rest
and turn them out. That, too, would
be the undoubted legal right of a man
owning a majority of the stock.
But he might go further. He might
be in a sense angry with every man,
woman and child connected with the
mill. He might turn every one of them
out of house and home. That would be
his lawful right, owning a majority of
the stock. He might resolve that Ital
ians, Poles or Hungarians would suit
him best in thn mill or he might re
solve to run it with Chinese or negroes.
It would be his lawful right. He might
become angered against all Southern
white people.
Now we do not hint that he is going
to do any of these things, but if he
should we believe it would ruin the
mill. If Mr. Milliken should put Chi
nese or Hungarians in the mill and dis
place our people, it would destroy the
value of the stock. Here is a man who
owns one share. Mr. Milliken, even if
he does own a majority of the stock,
should not bo allowed to destroy that
one share by a fool act for the gratifi
cation of his whirry IL^?AN ,x\? 'V
----?r?tf#1rs~or laws that can be made, can'
prevent it.
Now we remark that if it be admitted
that in the control of the Laurens
Mills or any business concern, a man's
passions, his anger, his inflamed and
envenomed hate, shall be admitted to
participate, then misrule, disorder and
anarchy are invited. If Mr. Milliken
should determine to act towards all the
employees of the mills as he is acting
towards one, to turn them out because
he does not like them, why, to use
strong language, hell would break loose
right here in Laurens and spread all
over the mill district of South Carolina.
Any sensible white man knows this.
That is why this Laurens Mill matter
is one of such tremendous consequence
to the people generally and why we
think that our leading men here in Lau
rens should be united as one man?and
those in Spartanburg too, ?to bar pas
sion and personal likes and dislikes
from entrance into the management of
this great industry.
And that is why we believe the South
Carolina general assembly should take
measures to prevent in future mill
agents who make more by charging ex
orbitant commissions than they expect
to get from dividends and men who are
non-residents and unsympathetic with
and ignorant of local conditions having
too much to say in the management of
nn industry upon which the happiness
of so many of our people depends.
If Milliken can, because vengeance is
sweet to him, destroy Lucas, he can
destroy others connected with the mill
with a good deal less trouble.

About Patent Medicine Advertisements.
We have no sympathy with Collier's
Weekly campaign against patent and
proprietary medicine advertisements.
When a merchant advertisers hoes or
shoes or clothes or canned goods, we
cannot say that they are good or bad.
The same applies to medicines. Adver
tisements arc usually printed in a form
that" puts the reader on notice that they
are paid statements of the man who
buys the space in the paper. We run
no chemists' shop in connection with
this establishment and we are unable to
pass upon the merits or demerits of the
medicines advertised.
However, we remark that after 15
years experience medicine advertisers
are for the most part persons who
strive to deadbeat the county newspa
pers. We carry very few medicine ad
vertisements.
They arc not worth the attention of
THE ADVEKTiSEn. We are willing to
advertise for those who have the price
and are willing to pay it, but such arc
far between. If Collier's succeeds in
prevailing upon the weekly newspapers '
of South Carolina to reject these ad
vertisements, it will save money to
them?for they will no longer be be
devilled by a gang of bargain-drivers
much too smart for the average weekly
newspaper editor (if the writer is the
average) and will turn their time and
energies to things that pay better.
Any weekly newspaper man can find
something more profitable at hand at
any and all hours than fooling with
patent medicine people. If you don't
believe it, ask the Abbeville Press and
Banner.
Squeezing 4 Per Cent.
The following paragraph is from the
Sumter Evening News, published in
Sumter, S. C.
"It must be remembered that the
mills could better afford to give a high
i price for cotton, if financiers like Milli
ken did not squeeze four per cent, out
of them for selling commissions instead
of the regular two per cent, paid by
the New England Mills."
Mr. Milliken cannot without assist
ance from South Carolinians put a man
in control of the Laurens Mills who
will pay his firm the commission the
mill formerly paid and at less than
which Mr. Milliken says upon his oath
his firm can do the business.

Talking to the Boys.
A Missouri contemporary rises to re
mark: "Once I was young but now I
am old, and I have never seen a girl
that was unfaithful to her mother that
ever came to be worth a one-eyed but
ton to her husband. It is the law of
God. It isn't exactly in the Bible, but
it is written large and awful in the
miserable lives of many unfit homes.
I'm speaking for the boys this time. If
one of you chaps come across a girl
that, with a face full of roses, says to
you as she comes to the door, 'I can't
go for thirty minutes, for the dishes
are not washed yet,' you wait for that
girl. You sit right down and wait for
her, because some other fellow may
come along and carry her off, and right
there you lose your angel. Wait for
A ^* * to her like a burr to
ja woolly dog."
Two Records,---76 Children.
Bishopville, Nov. 23. ?Esau Davis,
an old negro of the Elliott neighbor
hood, died yesterday at the advanced
age of 117 years.
He was the father of 51 children,
most of whom are alive.
This is reliable, as the information
comes from a respected citizen of the
county, whose character for exactness
and varacity is well established.
Old "Uncle Essau" belonged in the
old slavery days to the Thomas Green
family, of this county, and was a capa
ble and thrustworthy servant. He was
well cared for by the neighbors, white
and colored, during the last years of
his life.
Another case, not of longevity, but
of that success in raising a family that
would gladden Mr. Roosevelt's heart is
that of George Wilson, a colored farm
er of Spring Hill Township, who is 62
years of age and the father of 25 chil
dren by two wives.
Saved by Dynamite.
Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by
dynamiting a space that fire can't
cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so
long, you feel as it nothing but dyna
mite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Cal
houn, Ga., writes: "My wife had a very
aggravated cough, which kept her
awake at nights. Two physicians
could not help her; so she took Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds, which eased
her cough, gave her sleep, and finally
cured her." Strictly scientific cure for
bronchitis and La Grippe. At Laurens
Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co., price

"Oh, I AM SO TIRED!"
Is heard daily from old and young, rich and poor. Did you ever stop and consider
the cause of this remark? We will venture to say nine cases out of ten are
caused by improper digestion. This, or other symptoms of Indigestion such as
nervousness, nausea, heart-burn, sour stomach, flatulency and despondency,
should be a warning to you who are in danger of having indigestion, the great
est enemy of American health to-day, fasten its merciless fangs on your health.
Remember, "A Stitch in time saves nine", and a bottle of tho celebrated
KcHum's Sure Cure for Indigestion has saved untold misery to people in many
parts of this broad land, by curing them permanently of this miserable disease.
Yes, not like the pepsin digestives that help for a time, but cures permanently
by causing the digestive organs to perform their functions. Nature being sucn
a great rectifier of its own ills, with the assistance of this powerful medicine,
gives you a healthy stomach and removes indigestion and its symptoms perma
nently. Sold on a $5.00 guarantee. GO cents and $1.00 per bottle at
